Hollywood is still the mecca for good or bad, but it isn't the beginning or end for filmmaking.

I think what Hollywood has done for so long, is make movies for themselves.

Most movies suck, even the independent ones. Hollywood is like baseball: Hit three good ones out of 10 and you're a Hall of Famer.

I think you kind of need to acknowledge that the reason why sequels do well is because people that loved the first one come back.

Hollywood is kind of a bad world.

I think a sequel is a waste of money and time. I think movies should illuminate new stories.

If the goal is to get the best artists, actors, and filmmakers in the world to create the best movies, Hollywood does a decent job. And I think no one would disagree with me that it also makes a ton of bad movies and employs a bunch of hacks.

The trouble with Hollywood films is that they always have a pleasant ending.

I think, unfortunately or fortunately, the reality of Hollywood is that if your movie makes money, they'll make another one.
